Game Development – How to Start and Course Review

Today, I want to share with you how I was able to start game development with very limited knowledge about the process. As a final project in my 3D Graphics class, I wanted to make a 3D game. With my classmate, we decided to use Unity and C#.

Why I like it

You don’t need any game development experience (but it’s good to have basic coding experience)

You’ll have a fully working game in the second week

It’s free if you choose the audit option

You get all the source code

It teaches the industry standards

It’s well organized

It’s been created by university professors so you can assume that you’ll get high-quality material

There’s a forum if you have any questions

It’s based on C# scripts in Unity

What you’ll learn

game development theory

working with lighting, cameras, etc.

designing spawners

particle creation

physics

and many more topics

If you want to see if game development is the right path for you, I highly recommend this course. So far, I only took the first one from the series, but I want to take the rest from the specialization.
